However, elves were not as flaky as others might interpret them to be, and they were typically responsible despite their almost whimsical nature. They were known for their impulsive behavior and, as a result, many races saw them as flighty or impetuous. Personality Įlves commonly possessed strong but swiftly passing passions, being moved easily to laughter, anger, or misery and as quickly calmed. Many elves did not sleep, instead finding their rest in a meditative state called "reverie", which was as restful as true sleep but left them aware of their surroundings, similar to an eladrin's ability to enter a trance. Additionally, elves were extremely accurate in their attacks, having a degree of precision that would be unusual for other humanoids. This aided elves in many ways, allowing elves a high degree of perceptiveness that they could lend partially to allies. Elves were also more preternaturally aware of their surroundings than eladrin, as well as possessing better common sense. However, elves could move slightly faster than their eladrin kin and could move swiftly through even the roughest terrain.
Like their kin the eladrin, elves were agile, dexterous creatures.
Abilities Įlves had a number of abilities that set them apart from other humanoid races. Most elves remained healthy and full of life up until their death, which, if age-related, was usually between two and nine centuries. Unlike humans, elves did not age dramatically as their lifespan came to a close, with the most obvious changes being a change in hair color, alternatively graying or darkening. Įlves matured at roughly the same rate as humans, though they were not usually considered past adolescence until they reached 110 years of age. Elves, like their cousins the eladrin, were fair and beautiful, handsome, and had pointed ears and no body hair except eyebrows, eyelashes, and hair. Elven eyes are commonly brown, hazel, or an emerald green. Often, elven hair was dark, either brown or black, with copper red or blond hair also found amongst wood elves, although orange or even green hues were not completely unheard of. Elves had a similar range of complexions to humans, with wood elves typically coppery or pale skinned and wild elves having darker pigmentation. Usually, true elves were a naturally slender and athletic race.
